The four palace maids aged sixteen or seventeen were lined up, standing with their eyebrows lowered and their eyes lowered, all of them looking obedient.

Nan Xueyu was a little stunned, and looked at Haiqiu who sent them over, "Sister Qiu, this is ......"

Haiqiu hurriedly smiled humbly, "The princess must stop calling the slave and maid her sister, the slave and maid can't afford it, you can still call them by name!" These four people were selected by the queen mother, and they were specially sent over for the princess to see, to see which of them is more suitable to serve the emperor. ”

Nan Xueyu instantly understood, didn't she say before that Murong Jun must be humane, but there is no one to guide him? It seems that the queen mother's meaning is to first select a smart and well-informed palace maid and "enlighten" him in the affairs of men and women, so that he will be handy when dealing with the fourth concubine, and the queen mother is also well-intentioned.

"This ......" Nan Xueyu's face was hot, and she was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid...... It's not good...... "She is a girl who has not left the cabinet, but the Queen Mother arranged such an errand for her, how embarrassing."

Haiqiu also knew why her embarrassment came, and smiled, "The princess doesn't have to be shy, the queen mother means that the princess is smart and incomparable, and her vision for people has always been very accurate, and the queen mother can trust the princess, so she asks the princess to be the master." ”

The queen mother really trusted me. Nan Xueyu took a deep breath, looking awe-inspiring as if she was in danger, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll share my worries for the queen mother and let her save some snacks." If not, just tell the truth, I won't embarrass you, and neither will the queen mother. ”

Although it was sent by the Queen Mother, their attitude must be clear, otherwise if they are given to the emperor a second sister like this, the emperor will still be more angry, and it will not be successful.

The four palace maids didn't dare to raise their heads, and said in unison, "Yes, the slave maid is willing." ”

"Really?" Nan Xueyu smiled, her eyes wise, "I have already said, you just have to say what is in your heart, and you can't be reluctant in the slightest, otherwise when the time comes, you will regret it and anger the emperor, and no one will be able to bear the consequences." If you really don't want to, just say it, I won't embarrass you, and Sister Qiu won't say it, just say it. ”

Haiqiu nodded, and said in her heart that Princess Yanning was really thoughtful, why didn't she think of this. "You have heard what the princess said, and if you really don't want to, you can say it now, with the princess here, where you should do things, or where you will go back, and you will never be embarrassed. ”

The four palace maids raised their heads and glanced at each other, and one of them, who looked younger, said hesitantly, "Slave maid...... I want to go back...... "She hasn't seen the world much, and she knows that the emperor is a ...... Such a man was very scared in his heart, and when he heard Nan Xueyu's words, he immediately had the idea of retreating.

Nan Xueyu immediately said, "Okay, since you don't want to, let Sister Qiu send you back in a while, she will explain, and no one dares to embarrass you." ”

Haiqiu nodded, "You can stand here." ”

The palace maid was immediately grateful, and knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row, "Princess Xie!" and then stood up, stood aside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Xueyu smiled slightly, really disapproving, "What about the three of you, are you all willing?"

The three palace maids nodded together, "The slave maid is willing, please rest assured princess!"

In fact, these three palace maids are indeed thinking about it, which shows that the queen mother's selection of people is not without a little discipline, what the three of them think about is that to be an unknown palace maid in the palace, there is no day to get ahead at all, although the emperor is a little different from ordinary people, but in the end, it is the emperor, they can have the honor to serve the emperor, which is not a small honor, it is much better than doing rough work all the time.

What's more, if they are lucky enough to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, according to the ancestral system, their identity will leap up, and the worst is the position of the concubine second only to the four concubines, and they will definitely enjoy the glory at that time, and they will have a support for the rest of their lives, so why not fight hard?

"That's good," Nan Xueyu nodded, confirming their attitude, and the next thing will be easy to do, "Raise your head." ”

The three of them slowly looked up, all a little nervous, not knowing who would be chosen.

Nan Xueyu took a closer look, the one on the far left was delicate-looking, dignified in his eyes, and he looked like a woman who couldn't speak sweetly, or served people with flattery, such a woman was certainly good, but for a man like Murong Jun, she was often not very attractive, and she was not the best candidate.

Look at the second one, the face is round, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and it looks very pleasing, but it is childish, like a child who has not grown up. Murong Jun likes Nan Xuerong, at least in terms of temperament, it can't be too bad, this one is not very satisfying.

The last one, Nan Xueyu walked up to her and took a look, this woman was tall and plump, with a delicate figure, and she was very beautiful, with thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a bewitching posture, but it was not too much, when she smiled, she really felt a little similar to Nan Xuerong.

"What's your name?" Nan Xueyu nodded with satisfaction, it was her.

The palace maid hurriedly said, "Princess Hui, slave Ning Bi, a native of the capital, is seventeen years old this year, her parents died early, she is alone, and she has nothing to worry about." ”

Nan Xueyu was stunned for a moment, and then secretly laughed: This is really a clever girl, she doesn't need to ask more, she told her identity and background in detail, just to make herself understand that she is full of food, the whole family is not hungry, and there will be no one person who attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven?" "Very good, that's you." ”

Ning Bi bowed, "Yes, thank you princess for mentioning it." ”

Nan Xueyu waved her hand, "I'll talk to you later, as for the two of you," she looked at the other two palace maids who showed a slight look of disappointment, "Are you willing to go back to the place where you came, or stay in the Taiji Hall to serve......?" It's not entirely out of the ordinary. "She can still do this master, the person she fancies, Murong Jun may not like it, maybe these two can be selected again.

The two palace maids were naturally happy, and said in unison, "The slave maid is willing to stay in the Taiji Palace, and Princess Xie will be fulfilled!"

"Okay," Nan Xueyu nodded and said to Haiqiu, "Just trouble Sister Qiu to send this girl back, and then tell the queen mother, I will leave all three, and I will arrange them." ”

Haiqiu smiled and said, "Yes, princess, the slave knows what to do, the princess is hard." Then he led the little palace maid who didn't want to stay.

Nan Xueyu immediately called a palace maid who was serving in the Taiji Palace, and asked her to lead the two palace maids down to settle down, and brought Ning Bi in alone, naturally she taught her in person without mentioning it.

，，

After a busy day, when Nan Xueyu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was a little tired, and she originally wanted to rest early after bathing, but Qi Ling walked in, "Miss, Jiqin said that the second lady has sent the fifth lady a few times to have a good baby, but it is estimated that the fifth lady will not use it, but it is only perfunctory on the surface." ”

"That's nature," Nan Xueyu reclined on the couch, closed her eyes and recuperated, not surprised by this, "Aunt Mu values this fetus more than her life, not to mention that I have also explained to her, don't touch anything sent by others, she will naturally be cautious." ”

Qi Ling nodded and said, "The slave maid thinks that the second lady will not act so blatantly, didn't she get the mention of the piano to show favor to the fifth lady? ”

Nan Xueyu opened her eyes and sat up, sneering, "How smart do you think Aunt Xie is? She just relies on the support of the Xie family, so she has nothing to fear." "Like the last time Mu Shifan lost her birth, everyone knew that Xie Yilian did it, but so what, at that time, Nan Zhengyan didn't have such a beautiful scenery as now, and he had to rely on the Xie family everywhere, didn't he only let Mu Shifan be wronged and suppress that matter?

"What Miss said is," Qi Ling thought deeply, "Then the second lady will definitely find an opportunity to do it, what is Miss going to do?"

Nan Xueyu mocked ...

sarcastically, "It seems that my father is about to go to Jianghuai for disaster relief, which is an opportunity for everyone." "My father is usually in the house, and he can still deter them, but if he is not there for a few days, I don't know what will happen.

Qi Ling nodded, looking forward to this, "It's good for them to fight, dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair!"

Nan Xueyu smiled dumbly, when Qi Ling still said such vulgar words, it seemed that he was influenced by Dong Yi. "Let's just wait and see what happens, and I believe that Nan Xuerong will definitely not be able to hold her breath if she wants to know that Aunt Mu is pregnant, and she will talk about it later. "Today, after being taught a lesson by the Queen Mother, Nan Xuerong must be angry, and there is nowhere else to go except to come back to complain to the second wife.

"Yes, miss. ”

Mu Shifan was packing up for Nan Zhengyan at this time, and his face was full of sadness, so he almost cried.

"Shifan, just let the maids do these things, you are also a person with a body now, so you need to rest a lot. Nan Zhengyan is really good to Mu Shifan now, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and caring for her, although most of them are aimed at the child in her belly, but it is really commendable.

"Don't worry, master, I'm fine, I can't be tired of this matter," Mu Shifan smiled reluctantly, of course she wasn't worried about this, "Master, will it take a long time for you to go to disaster relief this time?" Now everyone in the mansion is looking at her, especially the child in her belly, what can she do if the lord is not in the mansion.

Nan Zhengyan said, "This time Jianghuai is seriously damaged, there are countless refugees, it will take more than ten or twenty days, what's the matter, will you miss me?"

"Master, don't make trouble," Mu Shifan's face turned red, but he didn't break free, "I'...... I was thinking, can I go to Jianghuai with the master?"

Nan Zhengyan immediately objected, "How can you do that?" Xue Yu said, you are now the most dangerous time, you have to give birth to a good baby, not to mention the long distance in Jianghuai County, there is a disaster, there is a big chaos, you will crash the tire gas, absolutely not!"

"But I," Mu Shifan also knew that this was not realistic, and his face was very bad, "Master, I ...... I'm scared, you're not in the house, I'm ...... with the child in my belly."
